It's quite common to actually get headaches for the first several visits as your spine becomes adjusted to a different alignment. Depending on your need, you can eventually taper back to maintenance visits. The money I have saved in not buying cases of Motrin and the relief from alternating numbness and pain has easily paid for my Chiropractic health care. Just be sure to find a reputable Chiropractor who will examine you and your xrays BEFORE determining if he/she can treat you. As with ANY profession, there are always those who should not be in business.
I live in the heart of chiro country, not far from Palmer. Too many choices!
